What it is
EfficientIP SOLIDserver DDI combines DNS, DHCP and IP address management in one platform for on-premises and cloud environments. It manages IPv4 and IPv6, VLANs and VXLANs, and supports DNS and DHCP services from multiple vendors, including Microsoft, ISC BIND, AWS Route 53, Azure DNS and Google Cloud Platform. A centralized repository tracks IP resources, DNS and DHCP data, VLANs, VRFs, applications, devices and metadata, with discovery across on-premises and cloud resources. REST and SOAP APIs provide access to DDI functions, with Python and Terraform plugin options; API calls support rights management and role-based access control. Integrations span virtualization, cloud and automation tools, including VMware vRealize, OpenStack, Proxmox, Terraform, Ansible, Chef and Puppet. The platform also includes policy management, audit trails and compliance reporting. It is offered as hardware and virtual appliances, with hybrid deployment and pricing on request.
